They need to stop flicking their cigarettes over the railings. That's way more dangerous than their stupid love triangle.
I thought the same thing, Darth. Was Katie dressing up to go on the prowl? Maybe they're just at the end of their clean clothes supply and the little black number was the only thing that didn't smell like smoke or a Haitian toilet.
Your comment reminds me of the last sketch in a certain early 1970s Woodie Allen comedy that parodies a book that I won't name here since the topic isn't particularly family friendly.
Just imagine Tony Randall saying "Blue Leader to Mary ..."
(I'm new here, folks, so I'm not sure what the boundaries are)
Payday! I'm sure Mary will fix everything, at least temporarily. But Katie & Derek seem doomed. Of course, Esme will get fired, too, so there's a bit of justice. Kudos to June Brigman for a dreamy night sky.
That cigarette smoking leads to: 1. A nagging wife 2. Childish pranks 3. Marital strife 4. An extra-marital fling with a hot entertainer 5. A third-rate plot device
LOL Wanders, not particularly. They are both unlikable. Katie is a screeching shrew and 3E is a third rate cruise performer and a man stealing hussy. I'm thinking if they both fall overboard we can have a fight in the water like Alexis and Krystle had on Dynasty. Derek, being the total tool that he is wouldn't try to help, but would feel all macho about having two women fighting over him as they drown.
You know when the Tom Hanks' character in that old movie about old time women's baseball (sorry, I can't remember the name of the movie) said, "Wait, there's no crying in baseball!" Well, I can't help but wanting to shout out today, "Wait.. there's no action in a Mary Worth Sunday strip!"
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Holy Crap, An Actual Plot Climax!"
ReplyDeleteHere? Spy eye...Hel-lo...
Esme...
!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!
Blue Leader to Mary, Blue Leader to Mary. Code Red. I repeat, Code Red. Love triangle at 10 o'clock. Prepare to mobilize STAT! This is not a drill.

Why did Katie change into a little black dress to go find Derek?

Esme has a knack for appearing at Hoosier marital crises. Did she implant a microchip in Derek?
ReplyDeleteWhat have we learned?

Mary's meddle sense must be tingling! Let the drama begin!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for Katie and 3E to get into a good old fashioned cat fight and one of them goes over the railing.
ReplyDeleteRegina, do you care which one?

ReplyDeleteAnonymous - the movie you're thinking about was "A League of Their Own." And I loved that line.
ReplyDeleteMary, drop those towels you are folding and get to business!
ReplyDeleteIf 3E gets fired, will Mary write a letter to the ships captain, begging him to take 3E back?
